Since we are kicking off the league this Tuesday we have made the final list of Gameplay Rules. These are not up for discussion and we think they are a solid list of rules that are not to restrictive on our owners:
1.Games Will Be Played Every Tuesday Night
2. No hurry up offense on any play that stops clock
3. No dropping back to far when passing (EA has helped us with this one)
4. No going for it on 4th down within you own 35, when past 35 but still in own territory, must be within a yard, use your
own football judgment for plays in your opponents territory
5. Only go for two at appropriate times
6. No milking clock unless in the final 2 minutes of firsts half or 4 minutes of last half. (Void if up by 21 or more)
7. Onside kicks allowed only when trailing in the 4th Quarter
8. No moving defensive players into unrealistic positions before play.(DE's MOVING AWAY FROM THE LINE TO TRY AND
RUN PASS THE OT)
9. Must wear headset at all time (DONT NEED TO TALK JUST NEED TO HAVE IT THERE IN CASE OF A PROBLEM)
10. ALL plays are allowed. We are not going to limit and play in the playbook (QB sneaks ARE allowed)
11. You cannot substitute a Half-Back to a Full Back
12. You CAN substitute an OLB to a DE
13. No Goaline offense at any time except inside the 10 yard line, or 3rd and 2 or shorter.
14. You can control any player on Defense including any member on the D-Line
15. You MUST punt on 4th downs. If it is 4th and less then 2 just out of field goal range (Between 32-37) it is the owners decision.
16. This is a TUESDAY night league so play all games on TUESDAY nights. If an emergency comes up please let the ADMIN know, as well as contact the other owner and play ASAP. (VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO THIS)
17. EVERYONE post about the game after every week. I do not want to have to chase you guys down to post anymore. Winners post the score but the losers must post as well.
If everyone follows these rules and stays active on this site I feel this will be one of the best Madden 09 leagues out there!
